Rage Against The Machine‘s eponymous debut album turns 20 this year and like all things ’90s, the incendiary Los Angeles, California band is back in the social conversation. But, it’s not for Zack de la Rocha‘s radical left-wing statements or some new trick guitarist Tom Morello has learned to make his axe sound like an out of world instrument. Rather, it’s for Republican Vice President Nominee Paul Ryan recently admitting his love for the band whose sentiments seemingly contradict every one of his own. Even Morello thinks so. But where Ryan may have lost the message with the music, Life+Times hasn’t, and here we look at some of the most historic moments in the history of Rage Against The Machine.

Hello – I am trying to get
Zack de la Rocha’s email address. I live in Wilmington, DE and have some ideas for him regarding converting his political ideas into reality. In case Zack or a friend of his happens to read this, my email is fritzjf@live.com……also i wanted to convey the title of a book to him – “the creature from Jekyl Island” … it is, at least to me, a fascinating book about the history of the federal reserve. parts of it cover the civil war, and the point at which Lincoln converted the war from being about just money into being “about” the end of slavery. anyway, i wanted to start a dialog with
zack, which i think he would find extremely interesting. John fritz
